Helpful Expert Reply:
Air conditioners draw way too much amperage for use off of a solar panel. You'd need monstrous solar panels for that which wouldn't be possible in a trailer setup. For mobile power of an AC unit your best option is a generator like the part # 289-SUA9000E as a battery is going to be drained quickly from the higher draw of AC units.
